Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Maitama, Abuja, has adjourned the trial of Ali Bello and Dauda Sulaiman until June 2, 2026.

Bello, a nephew of former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, is being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, alongside Sulaiman on an amended 16-count charge bordering on alleged misappropriation and money laundering to the tune of ₦10,270,556,800.

At Monday’s proceedings, the 17th prosecution witness, Ahmed Audu Abubakar, continued his testimony before the court.

While being cross-examined by defence counsel, A.M. Aliyu, SAN, the witness gave evidence on transactions allegedly connected to the purchase of several properties in Abuja.

The properties mentioned during the proceedings include those located at No. 35 Danube Street, Plot 1773, Guzape, Sheriff Plaza, Ikogosi Close, Durban Street, and Dalla Hills Street.

The EFCC alleges that the transactions form part of the subject matter of the money laundering case against the defendants.

After taking the witness’ testimony, Justice Omotosho adjourned the matter to June 2, 2026, for continuation of hearing.
